How to disconnect a gas bottle
a) Except for twin-cylinder installations with a changeover valve, turn off the gas tap
if fitted to the appliance. Wait until the burner and pilot light have gone out. For
installations with a changeover valve, it is only necessary to switch off the empty
cylinder.
b) Replace the orange safety cap onto the empty cylinder.
GENERAL
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to
shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site
due to possible mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being
applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks following the
procedures listed below. If the smell of gas is detected at anytime you
should immediately check the entire system for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill including tie-down
straps.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING. NEVER PERFORM LEAK TEST WITH AN
OPEN FLAME.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a
spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For the initial leak test,
make sure the L.P. cylinder is 80% full.
TO TEST
1.Make sure the control valves are in the OFF position, and turn on the gas supply.
2.Check all connections from the gas regulator and supply valve up to and including
the connection to the manifold pipe assembly (the pipe that goes to the burners).
Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
3.If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply and tighten the leaky
fittings.
4.Turn the gas back on and recheck.
5. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn off the gas supply.
